Oh geeze, the morning I left my Dad got up and said the route I had planned had 6 - 7 inches of snow and a lot mroe predicted.....so I had to fret a bit and mull over changing the route, but then I said, hell I have a front wheel drive vehicle, I've driven in snow close to 30 years, so I'm going for it.

Going over Gilmore pass (real high elevation) there was snow on the mountains but none on the road....wasn't til Mud Lake that there was snow on the flat....by the time I got to Idaho Falls you tell there ha beeen 6 inches or more and more was predicted.

But none on the freeway....drove over 60 miles--out of the snow path--without so much as a flake of snow falling....I I made really good time....drove all the way to Mesquite, NEVADA,(over 700 miles) the first day--couldn't have gone all the way to Vegas--but I was a little hesitant because they had such bad windstorms the night bore and predicted that day...

Made it into my daughter's place by 3:45 in the afternoon. It was h-0-t-.....today was cooler.

Tell Letitring....I did my shopping....I'm done for the rest of my life!!! Yikes, I hate that try it on, take it off, put it on, take it off, try another, don't like that color, yada yada yada!!! Smile....:)

Hiya Rowdee... glad you made it safely. Yesterday I was remembering a trip I took to Texas from Washington. Drove from Twin Falls ID to Gallup NM in one day - through heavy road construction and snow in Salt Lake City. Drove through some beautiful scenery in Utah, but didn't dare stop to take pictures. Once I get behind the wheel I drive and drive -- I'm pacing my summer trip much differently, but I wonder if I'll stick to the schedule.
